I'm really worried about my 16-year-old brother. He's been having this sharp pain in his chest whenever he takes a deep breath, and it's been going on for a couple of months. We initially thought it might be because of junk food, but he's actually stopped eating it for about 8 months now. I'm trying to figure out what could be causing this pain when he breathes deeply. Could it be something serious? What should we do about it?

View allI'm trying to understand the normal pulmonary flow for a tall adult. Does having high pulmonary flow automatically mean someone has pulmonary artery hypertension? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate some clarity on this.
The normal pulmonary flow in a tall adult is approximately 4-6 liters per minute. High pulmonary flow can be an indicator of pulmonary artery hypertension. If you suspect pulmonary artery hypertension, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been on TB medication for 10 days now, but he's started having sharp pain in his back where his lungs are, especially when he breathes. The doctor mentioned before it might be swelling in the lungs, but now the pain's gotten much worse. Is this something new we should be concerned about, or is it related to the TB treatment? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm trying to figure out if I might have asthma because ever since I had COVID back in January, I've been experiencing these weird episodes. For about 10 minutes at a time, I feel this deep wheezing vibration in my right lung when I breathe deeply. Its especially noticeable in the mornings, and sometimes its even audible, kind of like snoring. I can feel it throughout my right chest, both front and back. These episodes started about five months ago and while they were irregular at first, they're happening more often now. Sometimes, coughing can start or stop these episodes, but it usually stops them. Ive got POTS and no known lung issues, although I've had pneumonia a few times as a kid and tend to catch colds and coughs easily. Does this sound like asthma or something else I should be worried about?
